Fun memey thing
Stolen from laurasaurora...
1. Type in your birthday (minus the year) in the search bar at Wikipedia
2. List three interesting events, two births, and one death that happened on your birthday.
My birthday is July 11...
I'm going to cheat a little with the first one, which will actually make it 4...
1859 - A Tale Of Two Cities by Charles Dickens is published; 1960 - To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee is first published.
1735 - Mathematical calculations suggest it was on this day that Pluto moved from the ninth to the eighth most distant planet from the Sun for the last time before 1979.
1987 - According to the United Nations, the world population crosses the 5,000,000,000 mark.
(there are lots of other cool ones, but I thought these were neat)
Births:
1274 - Robert the Bruce, King of Scotland (d. 1329)
1959 - Richie Sambora, American guitarist (Bon Jovi) (rock!)
Deaths:
1804 - Alexander Hamilton, United States Secretary of the Treasury (duel) (b. 1757)
(Also, it's free slurpee day at most 7-Eleven locations in the US, apparently)
